The museum tells the story of the Verde River Valley from prehistoric times to the present, including a good section on the development of the town of Fountain Hills. It has sophisticated displays of artifacts from all eras of our history, from early Native American pots to early Fountain Hills memorabilia. Exhibits include the Hohokam Exhibit, Miners Exhibit, Storyteller in the Waterfall, Prehistoric Exhibit, Ranchers Exhibit, Native American Exhibit, and the Fort McDowell Exhibit.
